Jackie Chan plays Wong Fei-Hung, a mischievous young man who keeps getting into trouble. His father, a respected Kung Fu master, strictly forbids him to fight; however Wong Fei-Hung disobeys his father’s orders and injures a young man at the local market. Furious, his father sends him to his uncle Soo Hua Xi, a Kung Fu master notoriously cruel with his disciples. Aware of his uncle’s reputation, Fei-Hung runs away, but crosses paths with a drunken tramp who excels at Kung Fu.
